Come To Me (Amelia and Patrick) novel Chapter 1898

Amelia heard the depression in his words and could not help but look up to respond to his kiss that had just fallen. "Mr. Hopper, I didn't seem to say anything sad for him, did I? Look, I didn't even shed a tear for him."

Patrick lowered his head and examined her carefully. Her eyes were clear and there was no trace of redness under the rims of her eyes. Indeed, she didn't look like she was going to cry.

Seeing this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said somewhat unwillingly, "Amy, if you want to see him for the last time, I can agree."

Amelia said, "You sound very reluctant."

Patrick said magnanimously, "No, I don't need to compete with the dead."

He was lying. He had asked her to stop thinking about Daniel just now.

Amelia sighed in her heart and said, "Since you have no objection, I'll go and see him one last time."

When Patrick heard that she really wanted to go, he could not help feeling depressed again. However, he was the one who said it. He could not go back on his words, could he?

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and replied, "Okay!"

Amelia asked, "By the way, although Daniel is dead, he's still a criminal. Do you think a funeral ceremony could be held for him?"

Patrick said, "It should be possible if his family applied for him."

"I see..." Amelia continued to ask, "Has Owen informed his family?"

"Yes," Patrick replied.

"That's good. He shouldn't be too miserable."

Amelia buried her face in Patrick's arms and rubbed it against him. "Mr. Hopper, I'm sleepy. Take me back to my room to rest."

"All right."

Patrick knew that she just didn't want to talk too much, because the more she talked, the more memories she would recall. This was not what he was happy to see.

After picking up Amelia, he walked into their bedroom and carefully settled her in. He then lay beside her and let her lean against him.

[No matter what, he is a person I know. It's impossible for me to have no feelings at all.]

Amy was probably sad. Even if she didn't question him or cry, she definitely wouldn't be as calm as she looked.

But what could he do? Could he possibly erase Daniel from her memories?

If the evil deeds Daniel had done earlier were just for the sake of wealth and murder, then that would be fine. However, he had to bear the blood feud. Thus, after the misunderstanding was resolved, Daniel had turned into a complete tragedy.

Therefore, people could no longer use "good man" or" bad man" to define him. If he was a good man, he would not play with Amy's feelings, deceive Brittany to get married to him, and poison George. But if he was a bad man, he would not choose to end his own life after knowing all the truth.

Therefore, in Amy's heart, it was likely that she was also very conflicted. Whether Daniel was a good person or a bad person, whether he should die or live was really hard to say.

Slowly, he saw Amy close her eyes, as if she was asleep.

Yes, she looked as if she was asleep.

As soon as Amelia closed her eyes, she couldn't help but think of the last time she saw Daniel in the hospital—

At that time, his thin face was filled with hatred for George and the madness of wanting to destroy him. It was unexpected that he would eventually destroy himself.

[I only made use of Brittany but I never loved her because the person I've always loved is your eldest daughter. You know, I put in a lot of effort to pursue her, and eventually, I fell for her.]

She had always treated the words Daniel said to Alice in the hospital as an excuse to sow discord between her family. Did he truly like her?

"Forget it, it's all over...”

She would just let all the grudges related to Daniel disappear with his death.

At noon the next day.

Ned appeared at the entrance of the police station in a gloomy state.

He looked like a poor child who had come to the police station to report something. His clothes were messy and the corners of his mouth were white. He carried a school bag on his shoulder.

Immediately, the policeman on duty asked, "Young man, what's the matter?"

"I..." As soon as Ned opened his mouth, he felt a burning pain in his throat.

Ever since he had heard of Daniel's death yesterday, his tears had never stopped. He had not eaten or drunk, and his body had already started to protest.

"What's wrong with you? Don't worry, tell me slowly." The policeman saw the vicissitudes on his face and could not help comforting him.

"I, I came to see my brother!" Ned finally squeezed out a sentence.

"What's your brother's name?" The policeman looked him up and down, wondering if this was the younger brother of his colleague in the police station.

"My brother's name is Daniel!"

As soon as Ned's voice fell, the policeman opposite him suddenly stood up. "Are you the younger brother of the deceased?"

Seeing that the other party reacted without hesitance, Ned's last hope was shattered.

"What's wrong?" Owen, who noticed this scene from the corner of his eye, tilted his head to ask him.

Ned couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Owen said, "Are you scared? It doesn't matter. I'll go in with you."

Ned shook his head violently. "No! I just don't want to believe that my brother is really dead..."

After a pause, Owen thought that he was just a child who had just grown up, so he said with a smile, "If you are not mentally prepared, you can come back in a few days."

Ned took a deep breath, and his eyes were no longer so fragile. "No need, I will have to face it sooner or later."

As he spoke, he walked into the morgue before Owen.

Owen had to say "Great" in his heart,

Daniel's corpse was the only corpse in the morgue for the past two days, so Ned could easily recognize him. He saw Daniel lying on the platform at a glance.

At this moment, Daniel's body was covered in a white cloth, only revealing his face, neck, and collarbone.

Ned walked to his side and found that there were finger marks on his face and neck. He asked angrily, "Who did this?!"

"Brittany," Owen, who came in later, replied. "Your brother's wife.”

Ned was stunned for a moment and shouted sadly, "Why did she do this to him when he was already in such a state?!"

"If your brother hadn't lied to her, she wouldn't have treated him that way," Owen said.

"What about here?" Ned suddenly found the wound on Daniel's throat and asked Owen in panic.

Owen took a look and said, "Your brother made it himself."

"My brother... did he do it himself?" Ned looked at the wound incredulously and thought, "His brother actually tortured himself like this?!"

"Yes, your brother committed suicide using a needle," replied Owen honestly.

"How can there be a needle in prison? Shouldn't you take care of these things?" Ned shouted in rage.

Owen had no choice but to mention Daniel's high fever before he committed suicide. After that, the Bureau invited the doctor and the nurse over to treat him. 'The needle might have been left behind by the doctor or the nurse at that time by accident, or perhaps your brother stole it from the medical kit after he woke up. However, it was indeed our negligence. I'm sorry."

Ned choked up and then turned to look at his brother's serene face. He never thought that his brother would bid farewell to him in this way. He was really too cruel!

He couldn't help reaching out and touching his brother's face. The cold touch made him tremble in discomfort. "Officer Hopper, I want to stay with my brother for a while, okay?"
